Lake Shore resurfacing shows progress

The repaving of a portion of Lake Shore Road from Fisher to Warner was coming to its conclusion Monday afternoon, according to Gary Randall, above right, senior construction observer for the project, who stands at the corner of McKinley and Lake Shore facing the Grosse Pointe Memorial Church as pavers tamp down the asphalt. Repaving the segment from Fisher to Warner is being handled by Barrett Paving Co. with money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
 
Last week the company completed repaving the segment of Fisher Road between Jefferson/Lake Shore and Maumee.  This stretch is to fully reopen soon, much to the pleasure of Grosse Pointe South High School students and faculty as well as businesses in the Fisher and Hill areas.
 
Repaving of the high school parking lot also was finished last week.
 
Wayne County is repaving the segment of Lake Shore from Moross to Vernier. The roadway has been milled. Corners and curbing are in the final stages of refurbishment, according to Randall.
